Bob Covenant rushed to Ops as he wanted to see his son in action now that he was a Lieutenant junior grade officer. They had both been on the station from the beginning of its deployment to the Sagitarrius and possibly the longest serving aboard.

Pride and joy filled Bob's heart as he watched Nic running the Ops station board like a veteran officer. This made his news bitter sweet. He had pushed Nic to join after they lost the Mom and raising him had given him experiences but had robbed his son of relationships and more .

" Hey Lieutenant got time for your old man?" Bob yelled. Nic looked back and smiled and closed off his station then ran up and hug his old pops.

" I hoped you would pop by. Let's grab some grub." Nic replied.

== Snails and Gagh ==

The new French and Klingon Bistro was buzzing as the food smell filled the station. Very little was known of Jules Nadeau,but in the week since his bistro had opened it had not been empty.

Walking into the Bistro with John, Isabelle was glad they’d had the forethought to book a table. It was already buzzing with people. As they were shown to their table Isabelle smiled as she got just what she’d asked for, a quiet table for two.

Jules Nadeau himself seated them and kissed Isabella's hand.
" So happy you have joined us, tre magni. Do you want traditional French cuisine or are you brave? I have a Vulcan salad followed by escargagh and bread sticks. The wine of the evening is provided by Commander Waroq’s personal vault."

Isabelle shook her head. “I don’t know if I dare go for the Klingon dish, I would prefer the Vulcan salad followed by a French dish please. What would you recommend?”

" I see you are with child, you should have some soup and salad. The soup is more of a creole bisk . I bring you some bread and soup," Jules replied.

Dallas chuckled " I was just thinking about a soup I had in Louisianna once. That is cool."

At the 3rd table two Klingons sat looking at their gagh covered in the mushroom sauce.

" Is there something wrong gentleman?" Jules asked them.

" The gagh have shells? I have never seen shells on a gagh." Waroq hissed.

" Oh my, sir they are escargo, Snails. My waiter gave you table one plate by mistake, a thousand apologies." Jules replied.

" Leave it. The shells are crunchy, I like crunchy food." Waroq replied.

" Very well if you are sure." Julea reacted.

" This is a nice place for here" John Dallas stated.

“Yes, it is” Isabelle nodded in agreement. “We’ll have to come here more often Imzadi. I’m sure my father will be more than happy to look after Connor.”

" I can't wait for dessert," Dallas added

Kahveq stood up as he was disgusted with the human food. When he did his chair landed near Nic Covenant resulting in his Dad standing up quickly.

" Sir you almost hit my son with your...attitude." Bob said to Kahveq inches from his face.

" If the boy is offended maybe he should tell me himself. Or does Daddy fight all of his battles?" Kahveq replied.

Isabelle sighed it seemed her calming demeanour was going to be needed. “Gentlemen!” She looked towards Kahvek and Covenant. “This is a restaurant, not a bar. There’s no need for arguments.”

Kahveq eyed Isabella and then eyed John Dallas who stood up as well ready to fight if it came to that.

" You are lucky today human. NEXT time they won't be here." Kahveq replied as he stomped away.

" My apologies for my grandson Lieutenant. He is having female trouble." Waroq apologized to Nic Covenant.

“Female trouble?” Isabelle gave Waroq a curious look. “I don’t know if Klingons talk to Counsellors, but if there’s anything I can do please let me know.”

Waroq chuckled as did John and Lt Covenant at Isabella's answer. Resulting in Waroq standing and using a cane he placed the unfinished bottle of blood wine on their table and joined them. He had finished his escargagh but was not ready to end the evening.

" That could have ended badly. That young Klingon has a major attitude problem." John stated to Isabella.

“Perhaps, but there’s an underlying reason.” Isabelle gave her husband a smile. “Perhaps he needs to talk to the woman in question, and perhaps his mood will improve.”

" Klingon seldom talk about their feelings my love. Let's order dessert." John replied.

“Dessert? We haven’t even finished eating dinner yet” Isabelle grinned as she looked at John. “Have you got a sweet tooth tonight?”

" I just thought chocolate mouth would sweeten you up love bunny." John replied.

“Chocolate mouth? Love bunny!” Isabelle grinned. “Just who are you, and what have you done with my husband?”

The remainder of the evening went eventless as the Covenant's and Waroq departed and those table were filled with new patrons.
